Adventure begins today
« on: June 02, 2018, 07:50:00 AM »
Getting ready to leave for a Viking river cruise from Basel down the Rhine to Amsterdam.  Won't be close enough to visit Uwe but have never done anything like this before, so I'm looking forward to my first visit to Europe.  Will attempt to bring back random photos of old castles and possibly beer (bier).

Be well, will check in when I get a chance.  And anyone I see on the trip with a WSU logo gets a hearty "Go, COUGS!"

Enjoy...!
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

That will be a great trip.  All those Viking cruises are excellent.

As long as it doesn't come with a Viking funeral.

Just got there! At the Movenpick near Central Station. Feel free to send me a pm. We could use ideas for Monday, as we're leaving early Tuesday.

Monday is my 68th birthday! I think I'll encourage JoAnn to buy me a good Dutch beer!

And don't get run over by any bike-riding Dutchmen.  :)
